I particularly like
Otis
Amos
Robin
Reuben

I don't like Otto, Rudy, Miles, Sunny or Gregor.

Littlecherublegs · 28/11/2012 14:57

Another vote for Gregor!

Also like Leo, Amos, and Louis, and you cant really go wrong with James.

Not keen on Glyn, Otto, Otis, Rudy, Sonny or Miles.

I like:
Eli
Otis
Reuben
Louis
Leo
Robin
Miles

The following name are classics. Personally, I like them but people will call them boring -on Mumsnet-. Don't let them put you off!
Thomas
Benjamin
Samuel
James

So Sonny, Glynn, and Gregor are looking to go at this early stage. (DH doesn't like any of those three either to tell the truth.)

You've got some nice normal boys names (Robin, James, Ross, Thomas etc) and then you've put in some pet dog names (Eli, Rudy, Otto)

Drmcdreamyswife · 28/11/2012 14:34

Oo how similar I was to Ebb!

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 28/11/2012 14:34

Eli
Rueben
James

Can I add Toby.

Drmcdreamyswife · 28/11/2012 14:33

I love Reuben.

Benjamin and Samuel are lovely too. Not keen on Glynn or sonny. Hate Gregor once taught the most annoying one!

Ebb · 28/11/2012 14:30

I like Reuben, Thomas, Benjamin, Samuel and James. I'm not very adventurous. Grin The only names I really don't like are Gregor, Russell, Glyn and Sonny.
